If you live in an area without an existing support group, we wholeheartedly encourage you to get together with a few other supportive people and start one. When you do, please contact us so we can add your details and any events you organise to this website.

Some examples of things your support group could do:

• Support prisoners in your local area. If you are near one of the jails, organise visits and care packages (reading material, phone cards) for the prisoners.

• Support prisoners nationally. If you aren't near a jail, send letters and care packages to prisoners.
• Support prisoners' families and friends. They're under a lot of stress, so letters, money for transport and anything else you can think of would likely be appreciated.
• Take to the streets. Organise solidarity rallies and marches.
• Spread the word. Hand out leaflets, put up posters, run information stalls.
• Write letters to your local newspapers.
• Organise fundraising events (gigs, film screenings, bake sales, whatever!) for prisoners legal fees and other costs.
• Organise support for the arrestees in your workplace. Talk about the issues in a stop-work meeting.
• Create solidarity material - badges, stickers, patches, posters and anything else, then distribute them.
• Talk about the wider issues involved, including the Terrorism Suppression Act and Tino Rangatiratanga.
• Organise a public meeting to get more people passionate and involved.
